    How Ben Fiore Connects the Next Generation Through Boy Scouts of America

    On this special edition of On the Front Line: The Safety, Learning & Operations Podcast, Dr. Gina Anderson, speaks with Ben Fiore, Terminal Manager at Eagle Transport Corporation in Tampa, Florida. Ben leads a fleet responsible for the safe and timely delivery of petroleum products. In an industry where precision, trust, and communication are critical, his work keeps operations running smoothly every day. But his impact goes beyond the terminal. As a lifelong Scout and honoree recognized by the National Tank Truck Carriers, Ben saw a gap between the trucking industry and the next generation. Instead of waiting for change, he created it. Through the Truck Transportation Merit Badge Academy with the Boy Scouts of America, Ben has introduced more than 100 Scouts to careers in the fuel and trucking industry. By bringing real trucks and professional drivers into the experience, he gives young people a hands-on look at the work that keeps the country moving. His leadership is grounded in a simple belief: the world moves forward because of people who do the right thing, even when no one is watching. If you care about leadership, workforce development, safety, and building the future of the trucking industry, this conversation is worth your time.

  2. Name What You're Carrying; Dr. Lana B. Henry

    Name What You're Carrying; Dr. Lana B. Henry

    Have you ever achieved everything you were supposed to achieve and still felt like it wasn't enough? Not because you hadn't worked hard enough. Not because you hadn't earned it. But because the drive that built everything on the outside started somewhere much earlier somewhere on the inside. In this episode of I Love Learning, Dr. Lana B. Henry, licensed psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and author of The Cost of Excellence, shares a truth that too many high achievers have never been given language for: You cannot build something new on top of unprocessed pain. Dr. Lana works every day with people who have built extraordinary careers, companies, and lives,, while quietly carrying something heavy. And what she's found is this: the voice that tells us we're not enough, that we don't deserve the next step, that we should stay small that voice isn't our enemy. It developed to protect us. But what kept us safe once doesn't always serve us now. Healing doesn't start with a grand gesture. It starts with a small, honest moment the willingness to name what you've been carrying. Because as Dr. Lana reminds us, we can't change what we can't name. And when we do the work, really do the work what's waiting on the other side is a freedom we've been withholding from ourselves for a very long time.

    Grief Doesn’t Have a Roadmap: Christie Brown on Healing, Loss, and Taking Small Steps Forward

    Have you ever faced a moment in life that changed you forever? Not something you planned. Not something you prepared for. But something that reshaped how you see the world, yourself, and your future. In this episode of I Love Learning, Christine Brown, Accounting Specialist at Chief Express, shares her journey through unimaginable grief after the loss of her daughter — and how she continues to move forward one small step at a time. Grief doesn’t come with a roadmap. It doesn’t follow a timeline. It doesn’t ask if you’re ready. But Christine reminds us that even in the deepest pain, there is still space for small moments of strength. Not by having all the answers. Not by “moving on.” But by choosing to keep going. One breath at a time. One day at a time. One small step at a time.

    On this episode of On the Front Line: The Safety, Learning & Operations Podcast, host Dr. Gina Anderson, learning scientist and CEO of Luma Brighter Learning, sits down with Graig Morin, co-founder and president of Brown Dog Carriers & Logistics. Graig shares how his journey from struggling truck driver to logistics entrepreneur shaped a people-first trucking company culture built on trust, safety, and community impact. This episode explores what happens when someone who has experienced the worst parts of the trucking industry decides to build something better — a company where driver wellbeing, leadership, and doing the right thing come before profit. From sleeping on a friend’s couch early in his career to leading a respected Maine-based trucking and logistics company, Graig explains how empathy, humility, and strong values can transform operations, safety culture, and driver retention. You’ll also hear powerful stories about community service, including delivering sandwiches to veterans, transporting donated medical chairs to emergency rooms during COVID, and supporting local schools in Biddeford, Maine. Graig’s leadership philosophy is simple:“Do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.” In this conversation, Dr. Anderson and Graig explore what that looks like in practice—behind the wheel, in dispatch, and across the trucking industry.
